Recently, we were contacted by someone at ESPN regarding a new show about sneaker culture slated to air this summer. They're looking for sneaker fans to display their holy grails on camera for the world to see.
It sounds like an opportunity that many of you would likely be interested in and, having seen some of the shoes you're holding, I have no doubt that some of our fellow NikeTalk members will make the cut.
Below this line, you'll find the submission instructions as given to us by someone with the show.
ANY type of sneakers may be used in your entry - not just Air Jordans. In fact, since the submission process will be running through August, we'll be moving this post to our other shoe forums periodically.
Good luck everyone!
ESPN'S SNEAKER SERIES SUBMISSIONS
"Its The Shoes" is ESPNs summer series about sneakers and sneaker culture. Hosted by Bobbito Garcia, author of Whered You Get Those?, "Its the Shoes" combines athlete and celebrity profiles with journalistic sneaker features to cover every angle of the sneaker game.
Every episode will feature one viewer submission video. We want to see one to four pair of sneakers - the best of the best - the rarest of the rare - from the biggest sneakerheads out there. If you've got one rare pair, show us that pair. If you've got four rare gems, show us four. We do not want sneaker collections. We want to see the gems of your collection.
THE VIDEO
1) Looking straight into the camera, hold your sneakers and introduce yourself to Bobbito. ("Hey Bobbito, this is Joe from Atlanta and these are my original...)
2) Tell us about the sneakers. How did you get them? Why do you love them? Why are they so rare?
3) Shoot the sneaker by itself from several angles.
4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 from a different angle. (Continue looking forward and have the camera shoot you from the side.)
THE SUBMISSION
1) All videos must be shot on mini-DV
2) Entrants should include their return address, telephone number, and a brief written description of the tape being submitted.
